A former special education teacher from Tobyhanna had sexual contact with three students at a school for troubled youth for more than a year, police said.

State police at Dunmore charged Domenique McKillop, 27, of 5074 Seneca Way, Tobyhanna, after gathering statements from the three boys.

The assaults allegedly took place when they were 16, 15 and 14.

The assaults happened while she was a teacher at Vision Quest-Standing Timbers Academy in Clifton Township from Oct. 24, 2012, through Sept. 10 and took place in her car, her office and elsewhere on school property, police said.

According to the Vision Quest website, the academy is an emergency shelter and short-term residential program for adolescent boys between 12 and 18. The residential program includes drug and alcohol services, alternative education aggression replacement training and GED training.

State police said McKillop was fired in September for “repeated violations of company policies.”

According to an affidavit, she performed oral sex on a boy in her SUV on the teen’s 16th birthday last year.

Another victim told state police McKillop performed oral sex on him multiple times in her office and in his bedroom on the campus when he was 15.

The third victim told state police he was 14 when he kissed her and touched her breasts over her clothes while taking walks on the property.

McKillop took photographs of her bare breasts on her cellphone and showed the pictures to the 14-year-old, state police said.
